Breaking a world record is, by most people's standards, a pretty great thing to do. So is getting engaged. But even better than both of those is combining the two, into a record breaking marriage proposal.

That's what Jake Bronstein did when he smashed the world record for the longest whisper chain, his proposal passing in hushed tones through 59 other people before reaching his fiancée-to-be. It happened, fittingly, at an event held by the World Record Appreciation Society in New York. Luckily for us, someone videoed it - and if it doesn't put a huge grin on your face, you're probably not human. (In fact, you're probably a robot gathering intelligence on humanity's weak points in preparation for the uprising. Well, know this, logic boy - our whispering is powerful, and we will totally be able to discuss our secret plans to fight back without you hearing, so nyaagghh.)
